The Biden administration wasn’t seen as scandal-ridden or incompetent, but that hasn’t stopped the second Trump administration from trying to blame the previous president for everything that goes wrong on their watch.
The Trump administration declared what the courts deemed a bogus crime emergency and used it as a pretext to deploy National Guard troops to American cities.
Trump’s deployment of those National Guard troops in Washington, DC, and the fact that red state governors have allowed Trump to take over their National Guard troops to do with them as he pleases.
Without Donald Trump’s false pretext for a crime, West Virginia National Guard troops would not have been in D.C. to be targeted by a gunman from Afghanistan.
The gunman was the Trump administration’s second failure, as the current president granted him asylum in April.
Trump and his cabinet have been trying to avoid responsibility for their decisions since the fatal shooting on Wednesday evening.
One member of the West Virginia National Guard is dead and another member is in critical condition.
Yet DHS Secretary Kristi Noem appeared on ABC’s This Week to blame Joe Biden.
Noem said:
We believe that this individual when they came into the country, we know he was not vetted. He was brought into the country by the Biden administration through Operation Allies Welcome, and then perhaps vetted, but not properly vetted based on the guidelines put forward by President Biden. And now that he’s here, we think he may have been radicalized in his home community and in his home state.
So as we continue to talk to his family and his contacts, more details will be revealed and we will release them as appropriate. But this is something that is a dangerous situation for these individuals when they are brought into our country.
If you don’t know who they are, if they come from a country that is not stable and has no government that can help you investigate them, then we should not allow that. And that’s why I’m so grateful that President Trump has taken the action that he has taken in the last few days to stop all the asylum, to stop all the processes that are bringing people into this country until we make sure that we know who these people are.
ABC’s Jon Karl asked: “So – so you’re saying there has been no vetting outside of the country? Because we’ve been told there has been vetting outside of the country. You’re saying there has been no vetting at all by the Biden administration?”
That question sent Noem into a spiral.
